[ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

Ok guys... i was working on making my new rom version and i thought of an idea to optimize my rom as much as i can.
The whole process took me about two days to complete since i rebuilt approx 120-130 apk's and made approx 5,000 xml edits.

This ROM is basically my personal built of an HTC sense ROM and will be the new base for my ROM that will come out sometime later on this week.

Im sharing it cuz i think it is a big improvement to the overall system. And i thought i'll share my work with everyone.

First i would like to state that EVERYTHING IS WORKING on this ROM. So unless its a bug i didn't notice... it's all good.

Now... what was done here was basically rebuilding all of the ROM's apks and frameworks to remove all of the useless extra languages that were inside.

This resulted in much smaller apk sizes and resources.arsc files inside the apk's (up to 10 times smaller).
As a result of having smaller apk's loading times are faster and the ROM size is smaller.
All that is followed by the system consuming less RAM and that can easily be translated into better battery life.

Also, i changed all of the drawing methods from "fill_parent" to "match_parent" because i saw on the android dev website that using the "fill_parent" method should not be used starting android 2.2 (feel free to checkout the android dev website to see more details).

All of these changes should result in the fastest HTC Sense ROM thats is out now.

Keep in mind that its a Stock ROM so i only made a few tiny changes to it besides the fact the 95% of the apk's and framework are rebuild by me.

So, with that said... no screenshots are needed and understand that this ROM is meant to be used as a base for other roms if anyone would like to use it or as a daily driver for those who like stock ROMs.

As a side note... please understand that if u flash any themes over this rom it will take away the optimization i made from the specific app that was themed cuz all the themes that r out right now still have all of the localization files in their apk's which will make my optimization of that app useless.

Also note that this rom is probably not going to be maintained cuz it is meant to be used as a base for all who wants to use it and i already have my own rom to work on.
This should also explain why all of the stock ROM apps r still on it.

This is what inside:

Rooted
Stock HTC Kernel (the one from OTA 3.70)
All of the stock ROM apps
Updated Apps
Updated Market (2.2.7)
4-in-1 Reboot Mod (my port)
USB/HotSpot Hack (my port based on vaelek port to calk's work) thats what i call team work, kinda.
Dalvik to Cache and Zipalign on boot

Download
Mirrors

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

the clock is showing a different time, anyone else with this?

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

did u wipe before flashing?

since i rebuilt almost all the packages it could be that i missed an issue with the time zones... but i dont think so cuz its working for me and everyone else that d/l this rom.

if u didnt fully wipe... try to fully wipe.
if u did fully wipe... try restarting the phone and see what happens.

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

i installed thru recovery and wiped cache and dv 2x.... and still the rom that was previously is still there except with the upgraded 3.70, i'm a bit confused ](*,)would this mess the optimization u did, so far looks good thank you:headbang:

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

flashed this rom over another rooted 3.70 deodexed stock rom. No issues to report. It is definitely faster than before plus now I have reboot option and hotspot and other fixes. Thanks Bud! :)

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

Nice job bud. When's the theme rom coming? Love your white and black theme.

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

So how's this rom running guys? I havent taken it for a spin yet...

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

Great ideas/work. I really want to flash. Before I flash, does this include:
-MMS Compression fix
-MMS Size Limits changed to (500k, 2MB, 5MB)
-Uninstallable apps,


if not point me to instructions on how to add......Thanks

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

omg! i'm so torn between your mikrom 3.25 and this! i do want better battery life but the white theme and all the transitions are just too much to pass up on! glad you put this out though as i can see a good bit of sense roms using this as a base and if it's like all your other roms, it'll be awesome!

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

jajaja you think the same way i think. I like both roms. Last nite i downloaded this one but i went back to the mikfroy 3.25 idk i like both but i think im use to the other one

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

in a couple of days u wont have to choose... ill have 3 version up.

white theme, black theme and stock theme.

of course ill also start working on mods and such once ill get done with the roms.
so u guys can have everything the way u like it.

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

it would be nice if you do a blue theme too are a black and blue

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

I really like the stock rom feel and would like to use this rom. Is this hardware specific(003 and older?). I could of swore I seen it posted somewhere. I have 004 so i thought I'd ask before i make the switch. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!

And great work amikam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.70 roms are no longer hardware specific... they should be universal.

Thanks for the fast reply. Im going to go ahead and try it. BTW, what do you mean, "they are no longer......" Thanks again

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

ok... im not gonna go into details about this... but, 3.30 was originally created only for 004 versions and a few 003 that had the new camera chip...

3.70 is made for all hardware versions as far as i know.... thats what i meant.

btw... i can feel free to wait... im putting out a version of this rom that is not meant to be a base.. and its a little more opt than the one up here and with more than a few extras in it.

it should be up by morning... so in about 5-8 hours.

ill be posting first on xda and then here.. this version will also be followed by my theme rom and black theme rom etc.

i really love ppcgeeks as a forum and a community... i wish all the evo attention would be here instead of xda... but thats why im more on xda than i am here.

im always trying to keep up and post all of my work on both websites, but its not always easy to keep track of everything on both websites.

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

I have a question; if I restore all my apps and data, using Titanium backup, after installing your rom, will that overwrite the work you have done to the apk's?

Re: [ROM] - [12/18/2010] - ReEngineered 3.70.651.1 - A Faster HTC Sense ROM
 

One again thank you for the quick reply and the great work. Ill be sure to check XDA...and to your point, it would be nice if everything was on ppcgeeks. This is where i normally go.

I went ahead and loaded it and works great. The battery,however, went down substantially within 4 hours...But my brother on the hand has great battery life, using the same rom. Im sure its either 1) i may have done something wrong or 2)its off the first charge. Not trying to bash, as i really like the responsiveness. Any Ideas?

GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

check out the new thread... either here or on xda.

have fun.

nice work amikam! I always prefer to use the stock RUU as my base, but with all the work you've put into this, it's very tempting.....I just may have to give it a try :)
